Jenesis is the name! Just a disabled girl who enjoys cats, puns, cat puns, games and advocating for accessibility. Spoonie. Views are my own. She/Her(s).
Hello friends, I appreciate everyone’s support and understanding as I am navigating my new professional roles. I am settling in well and beginning to get comfortable. My return is in the near future! 💜Jenesis

(Duplicate post but I love sharing this)

Friendos… My presentation abstract for an assistive technology conference was accepted! I am so thrilled for these life developments and will continue doing what I love.

A reminder:

Good consultants will tell you when something is outside of their expertise/cultural experience rather than guess at answers. Communities are not monoliths. Most will know where to find an expert on that topic.

Acknowledging those boundaries is a sign of expertise, not a failing.

Are you brand new to game accessibility and don't know where to start? I'm here to help!

Here are four commons problem areas for gamers that can you can evaluate your game on:

-Control Remapping
-Text Size
-Colorblindness
-Subtitle Presentation

Went in to kiss Tater during a between meetings break and she laid on my arm so sorry, I will not be attending work the rest of the day.

The game ‘Sticky Business’ makes me want to make a sticker store. This could be problematic.

Ain't no party like an Alice Wong party!
Alice is here now the party can begin!
Um, hello? Is anyone out there? I resisted joining another app but welp, here I am.

Not enjoying the process of starting all over again but whatever!

Say hi if you know me from IG or that wretched birdie site!

I thought I would never say this. If you are Human Resources, want to go in to Human Resources, or have a family member/friend in Human Resources…. This is your reminder not to disclose that a staff member has a disability when doing introductions to people during tours. This happened to me 5 times.

Moments earlier they were both looking up at me in picture-perfect serenity. So of course the moment I got my phone out they did this.

One of my favorite parts of the new ⁦‪#AssassinsCreedMirage‬⁩ diary that dropped today is the confirmation that indeed you will be able to hear the Athan (أذان), the Muslim call to prayer, within the game world!

‎A lot of care was put into this game. Less than two months left!

Tip: Don't lie in job interviews!

Additional Tip: Don't lie about your experience with the product that the job you're interviewing for works on! You will get caught. It will be awkward for everyone. And then we will share this stupid story with our friends.

Got pulled over for running a stop sign (because it wasn't there) and inadvertently gave the cop Tater's pet id card because I forgot to put my new license in my wallet and now the Flint police think I'm insane. How's your day going?

In case you missed it, or don't know me from Twitter: I'm responsible for accessibility news on Can I Play That?, as well as design and tech.

The latest: keyboard button mapping for some Xbox controllers.

The fact that @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com took time to double check subtitles for season one personally says a lot. I wish every writer cared this much about #accessibility - subtitles are important, narrative descriptions are important, access to content is important
I know. It's appalling. On Season 1 I double-checked and signed off on the captions and the translation script. For Season 2 I was on strike, and fixing subtitles is writing.
Hey @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com

Can we talk about how poorly they did with the subtitles for this beautiful show? It's a whole different level of comedy.

Sadly another year, where a potential "game of the year" did not prioritise accessibility.

I love #BaldursGate3 a lot. But for a lot of disabled players, it's another game they have to struggle to play.
